Dear CBS Executives,

http://finance.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chdet=1209231272195&chddm=48875&q=NYSE:CBS&

Your 23.3% loss in value over the past 6 months is more than twice the industry average. Your elightened leadership and continuous dumping of huge volumes of personal stock are sure making your stockholders happy.

Keep up the great work.

Love,
Alex

Way to go, Les. You sure are earning it. $35 million a year is the only reasonable compensation for a guy leading his company to an unparalleled level of unmet expectations and incredible decline.

Reasons I love the South

The South rocks my face off. Here's a bulleted list.

• Sonny's BBQ is everywhere
• Grits
• Warmth
• Muddin'
• No one can park a car properly
• Girls whose daddies are colonels
• Sipping mint julips on verandas
• It's way more expensive to golf in the winter than it is in the summer
• Palmetto Bugs that are large enough to eat you
• Everyone still loves Lynyrd Skynyrd even though there's only a few original members in the band
• I can make fun of people for wearing ski jackets and fleece when it's still shorts weather
• Everyone finally stopped saying "Git 'er doooone"
• The SEC
• No Big Ten
• Bobby Bowden refuses to retire and as such continues to drag his program further into an academic quagmire and obscurity
• I saw a chicken run by outside a restaurant once

There's so much more, but I have to go finish this semester off now. Look forward to part 2.

The Internet: Serious Business

I am totally opposed to the internet.

The internet makes everyone sound like a fool. I cringe everytime I go to a party and hear someone talk about "Facebooking" someone else. What happened to actually getting someone's number? I fear that by the time I retire, all interpersonal interaction will take place via the Facebook. You'll send your buddy a facebook message to go the Facebook Lounge and e-cruise for ladies. After tossing back a few Facebook Martinis, maybe you'll have enough e-liquid courage to e-ask that girl you've been e-scoping all night out on an e-date to take place at the Facebook Denny's. If things go well, you'll have a Facebook application that blends pictures from your photo albums to generate pictures of your kids.

Mercy, Percy

Percy Harvin is having heel surgery:

He's been playing hurt since high school. You've seen what he's done. Now he should be 100%. What does this mean? This means Timmy has someone other than himself to vote for this year.

Yeah, I said it.
